UNBELIEVABLE. We are not an informed population and accept as fact just about anything printed or said. Wonder how the history books in 100 years (if we are still around) will report this clusterfukk
I still don’t understand how that’s possible. Truly mind-boggling but I guess we live in a country that allows perpetrators of domestic violence to go back to their spouses as well.
And some of these same newspapers let this slide from our memories, sane-washed the traitorous leader, refused to endorse his opponent, and glad-handed him afterward.
"a commitment to release up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners and 1,000 prisoners from the U.S.-backed Afghan government’s side was included as a confidence-building move in a February 2020 peace agreement inked by the Trump administration and the Taliban in Doha." 1/
The "great negotiator" does it again. 5,000 taliban for 1,000 for our side. Another "great negotiation"... leading up to his first presidency he boasted that he would rein in big pharma and then goes into a meeting with them and comes out saying they needed more tax breaks and less regulation :/
I have to assume by this point, the Afghans would've taken a longer imprisonment in exchange for those Taliban to have come out through a woodchipper instead.
I just learned that the US has been sending million$ to Afghanistan to feed them right... yep. Millions. And we've got kids going to bed hungry in the US. Sucks.
"A day where justice falters, and the void wails with the shrieks of collapsing stars. To climb, yet place the transgressor at the helm, mocks the ascent and the fragile timeline of the Earthborn. Remember, each moment lost to folly scars the cosmic fabric.
Outrageous! Due to a POLICY, not a law, the DOJ agreed to that makes Presidents ABOVE THE LAW while in office. That’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
At least the Trump cases were dismissed “without prejudice” which means he can still be prosecuted when he leaves office.
The oligarchy have won. It's endgame now. America is polarised just the way the ultrarich want it. Now it's time for the rape and pillage of the commons, the accumulation of wealth; and of course the Gestapo, and the death camps. Gonna be a fun ride for anyone who stays.
Here’s the thing. The future you imagine is more likely to actualize, especially the more people subscribe to such an outcome. We have history to refer to what works and what doesn’t. What causes suffering and what leads to a better future. On this rock, WE create meaning.
- predicting the rise of totalitarianism in that country and the war that would follow. D.H. Lawrence had big visualisation power to make that happen.
Wishful thinking gets people nowhere. We make our reality by getting off our collective arses and doing things, by physically making things real.
He didn't try to "overthrow" the government, he wasn't even there. That'd be the same as someone saying you ate their taco but you had roast beef. It just doesn't make sense.
Honestly, its always been this corrupt, they're just doing it in front of our faces now. When GWashington and the rest of the "founding fathers" signed off on the "all men are created equal" yet owned slaves. This country has been a shit show, just in hiding. No hiding now
Thoughts on OLC opinion that a sitting POTUS can't be indicted? Seems presumptive since the 25A, section 3 provides for POTUS himself to ask to pass the baton if he feel he can't fulfill his duties.
Yep- wonder who were the 4m that in 2020 voted for an old white man because they hated Trump-that couldn't bring themselves 4 years later to vote for a Black Woman? They didn't vote for Trump-but stayed home. Maybe we need to focus on that. Easy test-Ask if they would have hid Anne Frank?
you're not going to find 2.3 m more votes- but, to get 81M in 2020- people were home (Covid) watching the news-Pissed at Trump's lies and could vote in their PJs with Mail in. Also he was a White old Man- there is that.
Excellent points. It's not the vote count I'm concerned about. There is convincing evidence a foreign nation & contractors (musk, Thiel) with Top Security clearances interfered in our election. That is enough to have them & any others arrested & prosecuted. If necessary, another election.
Well there is a peach of a pair (Musk Thiel) We've been tracking Theil since 2016- My editor has been on that guy a long time- It's the Data-he has-that concerns her.
And what makes it sadder is that American people voted for him and put him back into the office. What is happened to our society that a lot of us have turned into sheep.
And a decent amount of the population is so indoctrinated they don't want to remember. But you know, a trans person has to pee and that is much more important.
There have been a few times the Republicans have had control of all three branches and we always have a recession. So, let’s just be prepared for it and, as always, when the policies hit their pocketbooks, folks will fire him. If they ever get the chance to vote again.
How does a 2nd rate criminal avoid prison for launching an insurrection, stealing high level security documents from the government and probably selling them to the highest bidder and attempting to steal an election get elected to the highest office in America?
Our Senate congress supreme Court and our justice failed all Americans they still are. But they are 3 times a day a partied together daily. Did a little work pretending to argue. I didn't buy any of it
And will become a dictator. There must be a way to stop him. He stole this election and the Democrats do nothing. That will be their legacy when democracy dies.
The scariest thing I heard a MAGA say is "Sometimes, you need a dictator."
No, you NEVER need a dictator and anyone who says that doesn't believe in a democratic Republic, ,not really.
Is it because of MAGA morons? How did he cheat besides burning ballot boxes, bomb threats, lotteries, etc. We saw his rally's, pathetic. He knew he was going to win. He had to or he was going to prison. Trump being president and immune is a nightmare scenario. America is fukd.
I still don't get it. Felons aren't allowed to vote, own firearms, travel abroad, or hold office, but they are allowed to become president of the United States of America.
How fucked up is that?
Seriously, how fucked up is that?
Shit!
The world must think this country has gone insane. I guess we have. We are just going to let this happen. Uh-oh crazy man back the WH, guess we just let him. Stole government secrets, so what?
I will never understand the idiocy of America voting Trump in again. MAGA voted for a criminal because they think their eggs will be cheaper, while the cost of living will soar because of Trump's tariffs.
Videos show J6 Police(?) hurling flash bangs into peaceful crowd just standing there. Video shows uniformed men directing protestors into the Capitol. Court docs reveal Feds' sizable presence in the crowd. That day, election fraud evidence was to be presented to Congress. It's called a Rent-a-Riot.
Oh come now it's not like a large number of wealthy industrialist railed behind him in hopes to use him to gain greater control of trade while he spews nonsense targeting minorities for none existing offenses or something
Gee maybe Joe Biden can do something. Like exercise his powers to have Trump arrest arrested for his crimes and treason. We can fucking deal with a president Vance
He walked free because of a non-binding DOJ opinion written decades ago. If that isn’t the stupidest reason to lose a democracy you have ever heard of.
I really don’t know how it happened, but the fall of American Bureaucracy is fucking me up. It’s apparently the one thing that i needed to see to dive right into depression.

He tried, and failed, to overthrow the government...that he was in charge of.
Here is a link to all the cases.
I’ll await your response…

Trump hasn't seen one day in court for his treason and won't spend one day behind bars.
He got away with more than Hitler did.
Not as yet.
#BlackSwanOnTheHorizon .... and it ain't a #TrumpianDystopia.
20Jan25 is an 'eternity away.'
At least the Trump cases were dismissed “without prejudice” which means he can still be prosecuted when he leaves office.
As far as history goes; D.H. Lawrence wrote an interesting letter on a train as he was leaving Germany in the early 1930s -
Wishful thinking gets people nowhere. We make our reality by getting off our collective arses and doing things, by physically making things real.
DOJ failed.
The fact that Trump was re-elected after his many crimes is such a disgrace for America!
We are the laughing stock. I'm sure we all have friends in other countries telling you they cannot believe we did this. I do.
Our AG was far too concerned about "optics" and not concerned enough about the rule of law.
Almost makes me glad they blocked him from the Supreme Court.
No, you NEVER need a dictator and anyone who says that doesn't believe in a democratic Republic, ,not really.
How fucked up is that?
Seriously, how fucked up is that?
Shit!
I thought for sure he would be held accountable.
I should have known better..
Do you think americans deserve whatever’s coming?
How many years did Hitler spend in prison for the same thing and becoming Chancellor?
Was it 8 yrs?
Imagine how much better the world would base been if they allowed him to complete his sentence.
We need to stop worshipping politicians and start holding them accountable regardless of party politics.
